These boxes are carefully manufactured considering the market trend and your product requirements. Aside from this, the sustainable aspect of packaging material is also considered so that your brand can show its values toward climate consciousness. 

We have an extensive range of packaging that includes custom boxes for shipping to retail packaging. At us brands have the freedom to choose each and every aspect of the packaging for a better presentation and protection that fully aligns with their theme. 

Why Do Brands Use Custom Boxes?

We all know that market competition is quite high, and brands have to leave no stone unturned to show the customer they are the best. Aside from competition, there are several other major reasons that make brands invest in branded custom boxes. 

Supply Chain Efficiency

If a brand is using uncategorized packaging, it may have to face inefficiencies in stacking and shipping. Customised packaging is designed to match product dimensions perfectly and helps in:

• Reducing void fills 
• Lower freight cost 
• Minimise warehouse space usage 

Custom box packaging is also crucial for brands dealing with bulk shipments. This is because in bulk shipment, small improvements in efficiency can lead to noticeable and long-term cost savings. 

Compliance with Regulations

Several industries require packaging that meets strict safety and labelling standards. A generic packaging does not help in compliance and may lead to penalties. Custom boxes for products allow brands to print:

• Require certifications 
• Barcodes 
• Product information 
• Expiry date 
• Handling instructions 

This ensures a smooth regulatory approval and also helps brands in international trade readiness. 

Product Differentiation In Automation

We all know that modern warehouses rely heavily on automated storing and scanning systems. Standardised packaging will slow down this process, as there are no barcodes or QR codes to scan the boxes. But when you opt for a custom box, you get sufficient space to print scannable codes and machine-ready information. This ensures a seamless integration with robotics and AI-driven logistics. Brands easily make product differentiation and speed up their supply chain. 

Sustainability Requirements

Brands are facing the growing pressure to adopt sustainable materials for custom boxes and packaging. Regulatory authorities and climate-conscious individuals are making it inevitable to use sustainable materials to manufacture boxes. A standard packaging may not have these qualities. When you opt for a personally designed box, you can easily comply with green initiatives.

Shelf-Ready Packaging Demands

Retailers prefer packaging that can be directly placed on shelves without extra handling. Plain packaging makes it difficult to present the product on shelves. To categorise the products, human labour is required, which will increase the cost and delay the work. A printed box customised to your brand’s theme is way easier to categorise. These boxes also contain easy-open perforations and display windows that make it easy to access and compartmentalise the product. This saves retailers’ costs and ensures your brand gets the better shelf placement. 

What Material Is Used For Customized Packaging?

To ensure the sustainability of the packaging boxes, paper-based material is used. Our custom boxes wholesale material is sturdy and gives sufficient protection to the packed items. Moreover, we only use food-grade packaging material. The main purpose of boxes is to protect the product, and this protection relies hugely on the quality of materials. We have different varieties of paper-based material that differ from each other due to coatings and GSM. Those materials are:

• Kraft 
• Cardboard 
• Corrugation 
• Rigid

We offer holistic custom packaging solutions by providing brands with a variety of paper-based materials. You can select the material thickness and coatings options considering the specific demands of your products. 

Professional Die Cutting Services 

We are giving professional custom packaging boxes in the UK with perfect dimensions and sizes. Our advanced die-cutting machines give precise die lines that allow us to give impeccable boxes. You can select any of the complex packaging styles, and we will ensure the exact box without any flaws. 

The automated die-cutting process is efficient and ensures a short turnaround time. Whether you are looking for small custom boxes for your brand or you need large-sized boxes for bulk products, we have got you covered. The process of die cutting can be done either before or after the printing. The design complexity and the extent of accuracy decide whether we can do die cutting before or after the printing. 

Custom Printing Processes 

The main goal of customisation is to get printed custom boxes. These boxes are adorned with the logo of your company to give them an identity of your brand. You just have to give us your design specifications, and we will create the exact design as you desired. If you have not finalised a design, you can get a free consultation with our designers. For custom boxes with logos, we use the following processes: 

• Offset printing
• Screen printing 
• Digital printing 
• Flexography 
• Gravure printing

All the printing processes are highly efficient. The selection of printing methods relies on several factors, such as:

• Quantity of boxes 
• Design complexity 
• Extent of accuracy 
• Budget 
• Required texture

For instance, if you need custom packaging for a small business in the UK, then we use digital or screen printing. This is because both processes are ideal for small orders. We use several inks as well that give vibrant designs and an impeccable look to the boxes.

• Soy-based inks  
• Water-based inks 
• Petroleum inks 
• PMS metallic 
• UV inks 

Protective Coatings 

No matter how durable the material we are using, the liability of paper-based material for moisture damage can never be neglected. As an experienced custom packaging supplier, we apply coatings on the boxes that enhance the durability and make the paper-based material resistant to moisture. Coatings do several things to your packaging boxes:

• Prevent scratches and scuffs 
• Protect from fingerprints 
• Give a professional look 
• Enhance moisture resistance 
• Pop out artwork 
• Enhance the legibility of typography 
• Protect the printed design from fading 

Our company has an extensive range of coatings that give an impeccable look to the boxes. 

Varnishes 

Varnishes are coating agents used to finish packaging surfaces so as to make them tougher and more beautiful. They are used to ward against scratches, dirt, and fingerprints whilst enhancing the vibrancy of colours. When it comes to business, varnish variations are used as a way of differentiating products and feel. They are available in various finishes, all of which give the option of providing different optical and textural effects that enhance brand visibility.

Laminations

Laminations are thinner protective layers on the packaging to make it stronger and tougher. They protect prints against scratches, moisture and fading. Laminations elevate the feel of the packaging tactually and possess a lavish touch. Companies employ them to prolong the life of graphics and give the business a professional look, which builds confidence in customers.

In  varnishes and laminations, we have the following sub-types: 

Gloss coatings

Gloss coatings give a high gloss to the surface that increases colour intensity and makes the box stand out. It forms a reflective surface which draws the attention of customers on the shelves. The gloss coatings enhance the graphics on packaging with a high degree of clarity and vivid colours. They have a common use in retail products that aim to get the attention of the customers.

Matte coatings

Matte coatings are a non-reflective coating that gives a soft, non-reflective finish, which exudes a muted elegance. It provides a silky surface which diminishes glare and improves legibility of print. Matte coatings are perfect on luxurious packaging where subtle polish is desirable. Their durability goes hand-in-hand with style, so that they have a professional and modern look.

Silk-Screen coatings

Silk screen coatings are applied where a screen is used to enable coating of an area at a time. It has depth and texture by putting an extra emphasis on logos or patterns. The slightly elevated tactile texture creates distinctiveness and high-end touch. Silk screen coatings are mostly employed by brands when it is highly important to have differentiating packaging.

Aqueous coatings

Aqueous coatings are non-toxic and water-based and are safe for food packages. It dries fast and gives a protective coating, which does not get smudgy or scratch easily. The result can be matte or glossy at the discretion of the brand. To increase packaging sustainability and support sustainable packaging, aqueous coatings are used.

UV coatings

UV coatings are dried in an instant using ultraviolet light, which yields a highly durable finish. It intensifies colour clarity and has a dramatic sheen. UV coatings also offer resistance to wear and hence could be used when there is a lot of rough handling. They can be used on a spot or full coverage basis to accentuate design elements or an entire surface.

Functional And Decorative Add-Ons 

Add-ons are one of the core elements of the packaging that help in giving your product a luxurious look. If you want to make customers loyal to your brand, then you must make your product presentation distinct. We have a huge variety of add-on options that enhance the functionality as well as aesthetics of your packaging, such as:

Embossing

Embossing involves the placement of a raised surface onto a piece of packaging, thereby bringing out a feel and depth. It emphasises patterns of logos or the names of brands with a sense of touch to which customers are attracted. This approach supports visual appeal to showcase superior quality.  

Debossing

Debossing refers to an indentation made on the surface of the package, which is made using pressure. The finish is professional, gentle to the touch. It is regularly used by brands that want to portray subtle elegance. Debossing creates depth so that other features do not look overdone and the presentation looks sophisticated.

Die Cut Windows

Die-cut windows provide visibility to the product inside the box without opening it. The transparent window enhances credibility and creates attractiveness since customers can see the real product inside the box. The windows can also be shaped creatively in the observance of the branding theme, and make the shelf attractive.

Ribbons

Ribbons are ornaments on the packaging used to give a feel of beauty and elegance. They facilitate ease in unboxing and add an escalated gifting experience. Companies employ the use of ribbons in order to create glam and high-end branding. They are flexible enough to be used as luxury apparel to cosmetics, confectionery and celebratory product displays.

Strings

The use of Strings can be decorative and practical in the package’s design. They add functionality and also aesthetic values that improve the process of unboxing. These are ideal in pouches, gift bags and custom boxes where both practical use and aesthetics are desirable.

Tear Notch

A tear notch is a tear-open technology where a small piece of the packaging is cut lightly towards the customer in order to open the packaging easily. It makes it convenient without breaking the product inside. Tear notches can be found in food and pharmaceutical packaging. They do not require scissors to access the product, and keep the products well-protected.

Custom Inserts

Custom inserts lock products within the packaging by keeping the items in position as they go through transit. Inserts are custom-fit to particular products to increase safety. Inserts are also more presentable since they show products in a well-organised manner, which increases the quality of unboxing and customer satisfaction.
